Recent reviews have deepened the link between exposure to pesticides and, among others, various types of cancer, cognitive disorders, and Parkinson’s disease. In the light of these analyses, the European Union’s pesticide assessment procedure appears to be incomplete, so action must be taken. You are invited to a scientific webinar on Friday 15 October (in English), which will present the gaps in this procedure and establish a line of action through a common public intervention by members of the scientific community. Speakers include Prof GE Séralini. GMWatch
